In October of the golden autumn, the large mansion on Yonglu Street is decorated with lights and bright colors. The newly brewed high-alcohol liquor is piled next to the house with wine jars. The maid walks back and forth with dishes, and the butler greets warmly.

The guests sat in the courtyard of the outside house, cheering and drinking, and they were all their own family members, and they didn’t pay much attention to etiquette, and they were good at eating and drinking.

In the main hall of the back house, the lights in the hall are as bright as day. In addition to various antique ornaments, there are also some new things, such as glass lampshades, goblets, etc.

Originally, Cao Hua was going to make a large crystal chandelier hanging on the dome. Jing Liu felt that it was too troublesome to light candles up and down, and an iron rack fell on his head was too dangerous, so he changed it to a common copper crane lamp holder with a glass lampshade on it to increase the brightness.

The large round table in the middle of the hall is re-customized, completely different from the one in Western Sichuan. It may have to be kept at home for a lifetime. The texture is extremely exquisite, with carved patterns everywhere, and slides installed under the tabletop to rotate.

The dozen stools have the same appearance, but there are subtle differences in height. The main reason is that Miss Shen and Yutang are not tall, Xie Yijun and Jing Xue are too tall, and according to Xie Yijun's figure, Chen Yu's feet are hanging in the air. According to Chen Yu's figure, Xie Yijun's feet have no place to put. The seats customized according to each other's figure can also prevent each other from being humble and unwilling to sit down.

Before time came, the maids were placing plates and chopsticks in the hall.

Cao Hua spread his hands in the study and asked Luo'er and Jingliu to dress him up.

In the past, he didn't like to wear too fancy clothes, either in military uniforms or in white scholar's robe. Today is a more formal family gathering, and Luoer asked him to put on the python robe of the vassal king.

With a golden crown on the python, a starry eyebrow and a tall figure, Jing Liu was quite satisfied with her heroic look and muttered softly:

"Cao Zhei, you look so beautiful when you dress like this. You have to wear a fan to pretend to be a scholar."

Cao Hua looked a little helpless, looked down at the cumbersome decorations on his body, and chuckled:

"It's not convenient to hang things on your body, so this thing is not worn every day."

Chen Jingliu frowned slightly: "A gentleman should be gentle and gentle, behave politely and not arrogantly. You jump up and down like a martial artist all day long, so naturally you feel that wearing this clothes is inappropriate."

Zhao Tianluo wore a palace skirt, and also admired her eyes. He raised his hand to tidy up his clothes: "Yes, you are a king of different surnames. You spend all day wandering around the pile of makeup. You spend more time naked than wearing clothes. What do you think?"

When Cao Hua heard this, he pretended to be unhappy: "Why would I go to the border tomorrow and I will never return it until the Liao and Jin dynasties are broken. I will send you a letter to you in two years?"

When Zhao Tianluo heard this, he was immediately panicked and shook his head quickly: "Honey, I...I'm talking and having fun."

Although Chen Jingliu hopes that his husband will make great contributions to expand his territory and establish a great life, he thought of a large group of girls living in the back house for more than ten years and still feeling scared every day, and he felt nervous. He also said:

"Well... a big man should be able to plan in the rear and fight the generals, so there is a reason why you personally fight."

Cao Hua was satisfied: "Isn't that enough? I'm thinking about you, otherwise I'd have to lead troops out to fight."

Chen Jingliu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I asked you to plan in the rear, but I didn't want to be the wind and rain in the back house. After marrying so many girls, I thought you were content, but I didn't expect that I would not even let the maid go. If I asked you to go out for war, I might have to bring a dozen more back..."

Zhao Tianluo nodded: "It's not that 'maybe', it's that he must bring back a dozen girls."

"Luoer knows me..."

"Ph—you're still trying to show off..."

The couple quarreled and dressed neatly, and came to the court one after another.

Because the Cao family has two princes, not all the girls dress up as pretty women.

Yijun stood in the main hall with his arms wrapped around his chest, and was wearing a python robe with his hair tied up with a golden crown. The python robe of the vassal king was only a man's style. Yijun was tall and dressed in a perfect way, but she looked too heroic, and she was like a young prince who was more handsome than Cao Hua. Apart from her chest muscles that were too exaggerated, she couldn't tell any fault.

Yijun left Sichuan at the age of fourteen, and only knew how to walk around the world and was famous. In fact, she liked the battlefield and the world more. Staying at home as a young lady is both inexplicable and not used to it.

But just as Luo'er and Jingliu were worried that he would go out to fight, he was not worried that Yijun, his daughter, would run out of the house and she would be in the sea of ​​blood, so she would stay at home and live a peaceful life and wait for death. She couldn't hold it in, and she would wait until she had the chance in the future. The two of them went hand in hand to be a couple of fairy couples and wandered around, which would be better than not seeing each other for several years.

Seeing Cao Hua coming, the people in the courtyard also sat down one after another.

Cha Gu hugged Xiao Cao'an and sat next to Zhao Fei to help take care of the children.

It is hard to say that Cao Hua likes or dislikes him. It is more like treating Huan'er. It doesn't matter whether he is a family member or not. However, Cha Gu has obviously changed a lot. Cha Gu himself looks very good and has a conservative and down-to-earth personality. He is not arrogant when he is taken away by him, but he is a little frightened, afraid that the wife in the house will think that she is arrogant because of her favor and still regards herself as a "maid".

In private, Cha Gu is much more obedient than other girls, and she will not even show her unwilling eyes. She is willing to do anything with all her hard work, just like serving Zhao Fei in every possible way, wanting to serve him happily.

At first, he was afraid that his sister-in-law would not stand it and dared to enjoy it, so he naturally became less conscientious when he attacked Cha Gu. Cha Gu smiled very well, and he thought Cha Gu could let go.

Later, Zhao Fei secretly scolded him and realized that Cha Gu was very conservative, but she didn't want to complain in front of her master. She cried secretly at night and didn't dare to let Zhao Fei discover it.

Since then, he has been a little restrained and tried not to mess with Cha Gu. As a result, Zhu Qufei heard this from somewhere, and learned to dress up and cry secretly, hoping that he would coax her. After he found out, he felt very pity, which made Zhu Qufei so angry that she didn't get out of bed for several days.

In the hall, Zhu Qufei was not relieved yet, and she sat next to her apprentice and ignored Cao Hua. She just acted like a dignified and polite elder, teasing Cao An who was babbling and learning:

"Little An'an, call me mother."

Xiao Caoan especially likes Zhao Fei and Zhu Qufei, and shouts honestly:

"Mom~"

Zhu Qufei smiled so hard that the flowers were trembling, with a little envy hidden in her eyes, and then gave Cao Hua a blank look.

Zhao Tianluo was a little anxious when he heard this, and his eyes glared:

"My Concubine Qu, do you want your son to give birth to himself? What should I do if I always kidnap my son?"

Li Shishi and Zhu Qufei have always been in dire straits, and at this time they snorted coldly:

"Yes, I tried every possible way to get in front of my husband every day, but I didn't see any movement in your stomach, and I didn't know what you and my husband were doing in the room."

Zhu Qufei chuckled, but she was all her family, so she didn't mean to blush. Instead, she joked:

"My husband and I are in the room, so we are naturally doing what couples should do. Unlike Shishi, who always thinks about playing the piano and dancing in the boudoir, my husband is still angry when he has no intention of listening to you. He has to listen to the song before letting him..."

"you--"

Li Shishi suddenly became anxious, pursed her lips, and turned her head to look at Cao Hua who was sitting upright:

"My husband, why are you talking about everything?"

Cao Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip, just pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Chen Jingliu was the most etiquette and law-abiding. Seeing that Zhu Qufei had turned the topic aside, she coughed gently:

"Qu Fei, I'll have dinner soon, don't talk about these things that are not allowed to go to the table."

Zhu Qufei stopped talking and said nothing.

Xie Yijun sat next to him wearing a python robe, raised her eyebrows, and supported the scene for the master:

"It's all a family, there's nothing to be on the table. I heard Mrs. Chen say 'Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up,...'"

Chen Jingliu's face turned red, she blinked and said softly:

"I don't know who is the most moving in the house at night, you can hear it through several yards..."

"Hahaha...."

Girls either covered their mouths or lowered their heads, laughing.

Xie Yijun's face turned red, her brows frowned, and she couldn't find any rebuttal for a long time. She had high martial arts skills and good physical fitness. Cao Hua never held back her hands and the bed had collapsed. It wasn't her intentionally making such a loud noise...

Su Xiangning's face turned slightly red and she started to smooth things over:

"It's all my husband who deliberately tried to mess with others, and Miss Xie doesn't want to do that, right?"

What could Cao Hua say, shook his head and chuckled: "Okay, okay, ready to start dinner."

The noisy on the table calmed down. A little while, a beautiful girl walked out of the side door. She was very happy in gold and silver. Her little face was tight. She walked to the main seat and sat down. She also had a crown made of pure gold on her head, with the words "Happy Birthday" engraved on it. It was obvious that it was Cao Hua's handwriting.

Yutang urged to sing Cao Huajiao’s birthday song, but the girl thought it was too unpleasant. Han'er didn't like the feeling of the stars holding the moon. After sitting down, she muttered:

"Let's have a meal!"

Cao Hua nodded, looked at the table of ladies, saw Hu Sanniang and Huan'er standing next to him with wine pots, and chuckled:

"Sanniang, Huan'er, come and sit down too."

Huan'er was a little frightened. She glanced at Li Shishi, then lowered her head and walked to Li Shishi with a red face.

Hu Sanniang stood there wearing a maid's costume and holding a wine pot, a little embarrassed, and shook her head:

"I am a maid and I'm not qualified to go to the table, no need."

Yutang didn't bother with the big deal. The scholar Cao Hua looked fiercely, "Sanniang, even the young master's words are constantly. Do you believe it or not and let you change from a maid to a wife?"

"Yutang~"

Luzhu's face turned red and raised her hand to pinch Yutang secretly.

Cao Hua looked at it for a few days and smiled coldly: "Forget it, today is a happy day. I won't bother with you, I'll deal with you tonight."

Hu Sanniang shivered when she heard this, subconsciously covered her buttocks, swept around the table, hesitated, but walked to Yutang and Luzhu and sat down, lowered her head and pretended that she did not exist.

After everyone sat down, Cao Hua looked at the whole family and raised his hand with a very demeanor to the head of the family:

"Happy birthday to Han'er."

"Happy birthday!"

With the sound of orioles and swallows, the girls were cheering and making fun of each other. The rules were only maintained for a short time, and then they became messy under the leadership of a few restless girls.

Some people play the piano and sing music, some brag about the world, some discuss new lyrics in the city's poetry club, and some talk about business.

Zhu Qufei was a chatterbox and even told dirty jokes everywhere, but she took off her drunk Cao Hua. When the door of the main hall was closed, she asked the maid to carry the little kid out and began to impose family rules in public.

In the end, the girls got half drunk, and the strength to hide, and after a few words of reprimand, they lay on the carpet in the hall and were bullied. Even the drunk Huan'er was inexplicably affected.

The next morning, the silence in the back house was as dead as if nothing had happened. Chen Yu and Zhao Fei, who had drunk too much, also asked what happened last night and why they were wearing other people's clothes when they woke up in the morning.

Cao Hua naturally had no explanation for this, but it would be unforgettable to remember this night anyway.

Because the family banquet was too big, the original link could only be pushed to the next day.

The morning light in the east is shining in the garden, and several stools are placed in the garden. The painting tables of Noda's garden are set up, and the four famous painting saints in the city of Bianjing, holding their pens and inks to wait quietly behind the painting table.
